    Yeah this is what people often miss. Its okay and good to realize when certain groups are more violent, because that usually isnt entirely their fault, but rather the fault of the people forcing them to live in slums or otherwise bad conditions. But even just one layer of meta analysis is too much for many people i think.

      You are the product of your environment. So if you are placed in an environment that has violent tendencies, there’s a good chance you end up violent as well.

        Grew up like this in some godforsaken place where no one wanted to live somewhere in Europe and I’m still in therapy because of that. Had to realize that I grew up experiencing extreme verbal and physical violence. I personally grew up thinking that’s normal and everyone experiences it until I started therapy and realized how crazy the things were that I saw and experienced. When I met people of “my“ culture for the first time who just moved to my place I didn’t understand why they were so different than the people I grew up with (talking about the kids & teenagers here).
